analytics

At Thumbtack, millions of customers each year, across the entire nation, seek the help of hundreds of thousands of service providers (“pros”) to get jobs done. Analysts and economists at Thumbtack can use the marketplace activity data generated by these interactions to help drive efficiency in the marketplace and to understand where we can do better to help serve our customers and pros.

In this post, we showcase an example of a project, completed by our analytics team, where we visualized how Americans are moving across the nation. Specifically, we visualized a sample of approximately 200,000 long distance move (50+ miles) job requests our customers made through Thumbtack over the past few years.
